Chengdu, China (CNN) — Miss Chen (we changed her name for this story), an 18-year-old student from a village outside of the southern megacity of Chongqing, is one of more than one million factory workers at a Chinese company that helps manufacture products for Apple Inc.'s lucrative global empire, which ranked in a record $46.3 billion in sales last quarter. They work day or night shifts, eating and sleeping at company facilities, as they help build electronics products for Apple and many other global brand names, such as Amazon's Kindle and Microsoft's Xbox.
As a poor college student with no work experience, looking for a job in China's competitive market is an uphill battle. So when Chen was offered a one-month position at Foxconn with promises of great benefits and little overtime, she jumped at the chance. But when she started working, she found out that only senior employees got such benefits.
“During my first day of work, an older worker said to me, 'Why did you come to Foxconn? Think about it again and leave right now'," said Chen, who plans to return to her studies at a Chongqing university soon.
Foxconn recently released a statement defending its corporate practices, stating its employees are entitled to numerous benefits including access to health care and opportunities for promotions and training. In response to questions from CNN, Apple also released a statement: “We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. We insist that our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes wherever Apple products are made. Our suppliers must live up to these requirements if they want to keep doing business with Apple."
After three weeks of applying more than 4,000 stickers a day onto iPad screens by hand and working 60 hours a week in an assembly line, Chen says she's ready to go back to school and study hard so she'll never have to return to Foxconn. “It's so boring, I can't bear it anymore. Everyday is like: I get off from work and I go to bed. I get up in the morning, and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an animal," said Miss Chen. When asked why humans do machine-like work at Foxconn, she responds, “Well, humans are cheaper."

How to prepare well for an interview
It’s important to be well prepared for a job interview and practice the best answers to possible questions an interviewer could ask. It is common for the interviewer to ask why you are unemployed, why you want to work in that company, what you know about it and what salary you are looking for. Some interviewers can ask questions about current affairs in Brazil and the world (so it is always good to be well informed).

Atmospheric Physics is the study of physical processes in the atmosphere; understanding the
climate and the weather, and the physical reasons __________ it is as it is and how it might
change in the future.
My own particular research background is in radiative transfer and I mean the
transport of electromagnetic radiation through the atmosphere; the Sun’s
radiation coming in, getting absorbed and scattered in the air, and the transfer of heat radiation
emitted by the Earth’s surface.
From a physics perspective there’s an awful lot of things about the atmosphere
that we don’t understand, and of course, it’s very classical physics in the that it’s
looking at fluid dynamics and thermodynamics applied to the natural environment. What
motivates us really is to try and explain what we see in the environment, what it
and what might change it in the future, both in of local weather but also climate,
by I mean larger areas and larger timescales.
My background has led me to an interest in how solar radiation in the
atmosphere, so at how changes in the Sun might affect the climate for the past
year.

Brazilian Forces Claim Victory in Gang Haven
RIO DE JANEIRO - In a quick and decisive military operation, Brazilian security forces took control of this city’s most notorious slum on Sunday, celebrating victory over drug gangs after a weeklong battle.
In the early afternoon, the military police raised the flags of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro atop a building on the highest hill in the Alemão shantytown complex, providing a rare moment of happiness and celebration in a decades-long battle to rid this city’s violent slums of drug gangs.
An air of calm and relief swept through the neighborhood, as residents opened their windows and began walking the streets. Dozens of children ran from their houses in shorts and bikinis to jump into a swimming pool that used to belong to a gang leader. Residents congregated around televisions in bars and restaurants, cheering for the police as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams. “Now the community is ours,” Jovelino Ferreira, a 60-year-old pastor, said, his eyes filling with tears. “This time it will be different. We have to have faith. Many people who didn’t deserve have suffered here.”
